Cooking Tips & Recipes: Since Piedmontese beef has less fat than conventional brisket, it requires different cooking techniques to preserve its moisture and tenderness.
Smoking/Slow-Cooking: Low and slow is key—set the smoker to 225°F and cook for 8-10 hours, using a water pan to maintain moisture. Wrap in butcher paper after 5-6 hours to prevent drying.
Oven-Baked: Preheat oven to 275°F. Season brisket generously, place in a covered roasting pan with broth, and cook for 6-8 hours until fork-tender.
Sous Vide: Seal with seasoning and cook at 135°F for 36 hours for ultimate tenderness. Sear after cooking for a caramelized crust.
Grilling: Reverse-sear method recommended—slow-cook over indirect heat until internal temperature reaches 190°F, then finish over high heat for a flavorful crust.
